    At white belt, the best way to improve your jiu-jitsu is to keep going to class. Watching DVDs or watching YouTube videos can distract you from the fundamental techniques that will help you to form a well-rounded game. Worse yet, you don’t really have the context to sort out good techniques from bad, so you could end-up studying a DVD full of rubbish positions.

    If you are hell-bent on buying a DVD set, pick up something from Stephan Kesting. His material is consistently good, and he does a good job of making techniques accessible.

    I was wondering about this as well. I have just started doing BJJ twice a week. My school does not currently offer open mat time outside of class.
    I found the Gracie University and was wondering if this is a scam or decent. I have seen complaints about the best testing via video (which I would not care about anyway).
    I would still be attending classes irl but would use these to supplement my every day.
